Andrew Post was born in Erie, Pennsylvania (imagine
Eraserhead but in color). While he was honing his craft as a writer
(those early stories were awful) he worked in a gift shop in one of
the scuzziest hotels in the Midwest, he cleaned rental cars (also
gross), he was a butcher (despite being a vegetarian), and in 2013
his first novel, the cyberpunk thriller, Knuckleduster, was
published. No one really seemed to care much but he kept at it and
has since published a handful of other works to varying degrees of
resulting public interest with a few seeing translations and one
almost became a movie (that lit agent has since been fired).
For Chop Shop, Andrew was inspired by the (early) films of Quentin
Tarantino, Guy Ritchie, and Martin Scorsese, as well as the
deliberately over-the-top horror films of the 80s like Peter
Jackson's Braindead. That was the goal with Chop Shop: a comedic
crime caper with buckets of gore.
Andrew lives in a sleepy river town in Minnesota where he may or
may not be planning aquatic "accidents" to befall the many other
authors who live in the area and he has been mistaken for Rob
Zombie on no less than ten separate occasions.
"Chop Shop is a wild blend of pulp fiction with dark comedy; its
engrossing plot always seems just about to spin out of control." -
Foreword
"...violent, tasteless, twisted, and laugh-out-loud funny." - New
York Journal of Books
